I am migrating a base and form from SmartSheet - on that form, there is a check box for “Send me a copy of my response” and when checked, it reveals a box to input your email address. Is this possible in Airtable?

Hello, I have a table with only 2 columns (Name and Creation Date) now I need to send a form from that table but that contains 5 Name fields so that the client can register 5 people at a time and each of them will be a different record.

I am trying to implement a notification to go out to my team via Slack whenever a particular sentence text (named "Changes") is updated via Airtable. This is how I have it set up: 1. Trigger Type: When record updated 2. Table: Log-in 3. View: (none selected, watching all views) 4. Fields: Changes So the automation is watching only the Changes field. Now, whenever an update is made, the automation is sending a notification several times, once for every few letters typed. I want it to send only when the team member typing leaves the field after making a change. Is this possible.

Hi all, I have a base that date and timestamps new records. But since I had to import thousands of records from an old spreadsheet, it doesn’t correctly reflect the original date/time in the CREATED TIME field. So I created a field called DATE + TIME - MANUAL that is a date field that has the original submitted dates for the old records. All future records will get a submitted date/time in the DATE + TIME - AUTOMATIC field. In a third field called DATE + TIME SUBMITTED, I need to use a formula to say that, for a new record, if the DATE + TIME SUBMITTED - MANUAL field is blank, to use the data in the DATE + TIME SUBMITTED - AUTOMATIC field, but using this formula doesn’t bring in the data from the automatic field if the manual field is blank: IF(NOT(BLANK({Date + Time Submitted - Manual})), {Date + Time Submitted - Manual}, {Date + Time Submitted - Automatic}) Am I doing something incorrectly? Or is there a better way to achieve this? In the end, I just need to have a date field that ha

I've been using Pabbly with Airtable for a long time, suddenly today I'm having to update the connection data. No problem, I have done that before. Today, I get this message that pops up while connecting in the Pabbly dashboard. I assume the message is coming from Airtable - “invalid_client” My airtable account just renewed and there was as issue, but that is settled and my account is paid. I created a support ticket, but I hoped a user might understand what is happening.

Hi team I have created multiple charts like the one below: I now want to be able to add an average line to cross the chart - something like Let me know how can I achieve this

I have an existing table with 800+ records (imported from a CSV). Now, I’d like to add an image for each record (import from a folder of PNGs–with matching file names). Is there a way to do this in bulk? Example Records: Name, Type1, Type2, Image Abomasnow, Grass, Ice, [to add: abomasnow.png] Aerodactyl, Rock, Flying, [to add: aerodactyl.png] Aggron, Steel, Rock, [to add: aggron.png] etc.

I have a strange one. There is a single line text field in my table definition (‘active’), but it’s not showing up in the API doc for that table, and the API throws an error when including that field in the get requested. I’ve deleted and re-added the field to no avail.

Hello everyone! We build some Scripts with the Airtable Scripting extension and we’d like to trigger them externally via Make.com / API. Is there any way to achieve this? Airtable Automations are not an option because we are at the 50 Automation limits already (why would you make this limit so low??) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any ideas on how to connect Airtable to Replit? TIA

Hi All, very new to AT! But this has been an incredible community but I haven’t been able to find an answer to this question: I have a column on Table A called “System A Identifier” I have a column on Table B called “System B Identifier” The column on Table A will ALWAYS have more data than the one in Table B. I would like to create a Table C that links to the “System A Identifier” in table A and a new column that shows me a “Exists: or “Missing” value if that record is available or not based on the field “System B Identifier” column. I think an IF formula is the way to go, i just have not been able to figure it out. Thanks!

In my Contacts table I have 2 types (single-select) - “non-profit” and “legal” - and a linked record field to a Requests table. The Request record has two Lookup fields pointing to Contacts - one a lookup filtered by a view of nonprofit-type only, the other filtered by a view of legal-type only. This is so my user can quickly distinguish the two types assigned to the request. Now, I add 1 contact to each of the two fields in the Request. I would expect to see both Contacts linked to that Request. But the only Contacts shown as linked to that request are those entered in the first (“nonprofit”) column. If I force a “legal” contact into that first Request column, It shows up as expected on the Contact side. I’m not understanding something about how linked records work. How should I structure the linkages between these fields across the two tables? thx

Bonjour, je cherche la page des formule AIRTABLE sur le site AIRTABLE , Merci.Hervé

Hello, I am trying to use a lookup field from another sheet. It seems that I can only search by the primary field, not by the field I have selected as the source. For example: Sheet 1 - Primary field: Job #Job #: 1234Job Name: Sheet 2Lookup field in sheet 1 - Job Name: (I can search for Job # (1234), but not by job name. Is there a way to fix this or work around?

If anyone is interested we created an Airtable Shopify Integration (SyncBase) as we needed it. It instantly syncs your store data both way so you can update your products catalog, received orders to follow your raw materials stocks and do a lot of others importants operations. We planned to create our custom ERP on Airtable and then use this app to received and send data to Shopify. Happy to get your feedbacks in order to improve it!

I have an object that I output from another script using the Output.Set(key: value) method. The value that I’m passing is an array of json objects. It seems that there are a lot of objects to transform the object but I would prefer to just pass the object to my script to iterate over the object and use dot notation to get the values that I would like. I don’t see anything that just lets me keep the object as is and pass it through input.config only transforms or operations like length? Is there no way to pass an array or object??

How do I duplicate records with Create Automation but not linked to original record? This is for purposes of taking Project Schedule snapshots and currently the data in the new table where the records are getting created, remains linked to the original data. This means the data which I want to be a snapshot is getting updated when changes are made to the original data.

I have it set so that users can change the sort order in a grid view interface, but how can I set the default sort order that is displayed when the view is accessed? The interface is embedded into a website for public viewing, and I can’t figure out how to set the default order to be a logical one for most viewers. Suggestions?

I have a column of numbers. I would like to be able to press a button on an interface and set all values in that column for all rows to zero using a button automation trigger. Could someone please give a step by step guide? I can create an interface button linked to a record picker that updates the values one at a time… but that is quite tedious. Please advise, thank you!

I was looking at the API reference... why is there no method to retrieve an element by a field that is defined as PK? That … is basic DB functionality. Currently the only way to use GET (HTTP) to retrieve a record, is with a value no one knows and that can only be calculated via the RECORD_ID() function (... after you already have the record!) To me this .. is so weird haha :-) Is it me? What I would expect is that Airtable allows via the API to query the table with AT LEAST the PK values.

My Ask: What methods can be done to direct or redirect automation error notifications to other base users. For many of the builds, I create the automations thus all error notifications come to me when an automation fails. From what I read, if I want another user to receive them, they have to be the one that creates the automation and turns it on. I would need them to ‘duplicate’ the automation and delete the original. Most of these errors come with the interactive actions involving ‘humans’. A prime example is when a form submitter does not enter their email in correctly thus a confirmation email does not execute. These are operational details that the person I built it for can handle and address. I hate to be the go between for these errors or do something fancy with my inbox to forward them to other users. Thoughts in other methods or do the duplicate way? We are looking to get Zapier that might be a method toward a solution.

I need to create an email automation (preferred) or design a page that displays information similar to an invoice. Example data: Person Janice Joe Jill Jerry Jess Pay $100 $120 $60 Joe and Jess have blank values for Pay because they weren’t involved in this project. I’m able to use an automation to blast out an email to all people involved (Jance, Jill, and Jerry) because a separate field lists them, but I don’t need to actually display the empty records for Joe and Jess within the email content itself. And in real life, I’ve got over a dozen people and only 2-5 that I need to list in an email at any time. Essentially, I need to find a way to setup the email within the automation to only display specific fields if they have values. Alternatively, if there is a way to do this within Page Designer, I could just generate a PDF and manually send it to Janice, Jill, and Jerry. Ideas?

Hey all I am hoping you all can help point me in the right direction. I am looking at just using HTTP calls for updating parts of airtable for us. However, I am confused by how to update fields like single select and multi select. Example: I have a table that has a field of singleselect, and all I want to do is update the single select to have an additional choice. what url would I need to use to update the field? An example would help

Good day everyone, I need some help on how to create a script coding that Fill in the state name in a table cell when a customer fills in the full address in an Airtable form. This is not linked to an Automation, just an independent script that can be run anytime to any table, that also goes with the free geo api nominatim. Thank you.
